breaking news: hospitallers invade 10 man faction with 2000+ shiny troops

[Krosis]

That was the reason we play this game.. awesome battle.

[Aderyn]

Awesome battle, right there.

[Keshian]

Can't believe we got that close against lordly heraldic transitional armor on every melee guy and a crapload of destriers with heavy lances and bodkin arrows.  I think hero_party was outspent by hospitaller 3 or 4 to 1 on that fight and all that expensive loomed gear was almost completely lost or degraded in one fight.

The opening skirmishes where they slaughtered you guys with xbow volleys made the difference...very expensively purchased tho.

[Sir_Mahtin]

That was a proper battle.

I genuinely wish I'd recorded that.  Good fight.

[Turboflex]

it was a siege army that got intercepted, gonna try and overwhelm a poorly equipped city or castle with plate shock and cap all flags.

It has already been said before but it's hard to describe it another way : awesome battle.
good fight
PS: Kesh, I never thought putting an axe through anyone's head could feel that good!

Yeah I was about to help my team melee, but then Huey started yelling - pick up the arrow, drop the lance!!!  We messed up a little at the end where we kept having 1 guy go in solo at a time.  Plus I missed way too many shots at the very end (First battle with my new computer, getting a feel for it).  Good fight.

What the hell happened to all the trolling and arguments? Such a good thread ruined by one measly well timed, nearly even battle. This is bullshit!

We all have an addiction for blood and apparently once everyone gets their fill we all turn into peaceful, polite people.

That was the most amusing battle I've ever had the privilege of taking part in, and I wish I could have recorded the better moments of it. Rohypnol somehow went 35/10 when virtually everyone in the entire enemy army had either a bow, a pike, or a horse, and my pal who was spectating the whole event said that the great cavalry charge Huey led on the left flank of the enemy on our third or fourth push that allowed the center to break through and even the odds looked like the winged hussars lifting the second siege of Vienna or something. It was great. Kesh's performance in the last phase of the fighting was amazing as well; hero_party probably could have pulled out a win in the end if Decius hadn't d/ced and certain individuals hadn't choked harder than Tom Brady at Super Bowl XLII.

Thank you to hero_party for hiring me, and thank you to Hospitaller for fighting against me. It's for moments like these that I play cRPG.
